Like you say though, its a wee bit far away for most!! Thankfully, Im only a 10 min walk, or a 2 min drive away Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:05:17 GMT Adam Harvey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/e-boats/message/568 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/e-boats/message/568 Barry Many thanks for the invite! Wick marina looks very nice, judging by their website. The only niggle is that Wick marina is slightly further from my home Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:28:49 GMT rcminiman http://groups.yahoo.com/group/e-boats/message/567 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/e-boats/message/567 Hi Adam, Angus, Cheers for the heads-up guys. I will make some spacers up and raise the winches as you say. As for the weeds problem Adam, you'll have to move Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:08:57 GMT Adam Harvey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/e-boats/message/566 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/e-boats/message/566 I have raised the winches on Egret by about two and a half inches to allow cross winching - it works a treat and i would recommend it to any e-boat owner. I Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:45:13 GMT Angus Stewart http://groups.yahoo.com/group/e-boats/message/565 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/e-boats/message/565 Barry, To allow cross-winching more easily I have raised the winches on some circular pieces of teak with slightly greater diameter than the winch barrels.
